Countdown to the 5-4 decision announcement

Upheld as a tax, not under the commerce clause.

Guller: acting like a whiny bitch for months for no reason.

CNN says it's overturned, SCOTUSBlog says it's upheld.  Huh?

Probably a Dewey beat Truman kind of thing.

[DontSayBanana]

CNN says it's overturned, SCOTUSBlog says it's upheld.  Huh?

It's the old "two-version" trick.  They fired off the wrong headline; it's happened a couple times this year already.  They seriously need to fire whoever's in charge of web content deployment.

[Kleves]

5-4 decision with Roberts with the liberals!

CNN says it's overturned, SCOTUSBlog says it's upheld.  Huh?

Yeah what is that about?

Ah gotcha. Lame!

Seedys pants are a dairy factory?

Doesn't this go against his narrative of the terribly partisan and corrupt Supreme court?  Can't wait to see his reconciliation of his two positions.

And what does Yi have to cough up?

Actually, they misread the opinion in a quick read through, at least the TV version of CNN did.

Berkut's going to explode when he finds out you called him a loyal partisan

It's Tamas.   

Berkut is going to ignore his lame troll, as well he should.

[derspiess]

What I heard yesterday was that Roberts was going to wait & see how the other voting went.  If it was 4-4, he'd vote to strike it down, but if it was 5-3 in favor of the law, he'd side with those in favor so that he could write the majority opinion and 'limit the damage', so to speak.  I didn't think it likely, but it looks like the latter may have actually happened.

[jimmy olsen]

This is probably better for Romney then Obama with regards to the election I'd think, the Tea Party will be super pumped to come out and vote, while if they'd won I think a lot would have passed on Romney.

[jimmy olsen]

What does that mean?

10:20  The court reinforces that individuals can simply refuse to pay the tax and not comply with the mandate.

[Sheilbh]

Nothing:

Tom: Apologies - you can't refuse to pay the tax; typo. The only effect of not complying with the mandate is that you pay the tax.
